I have a ton almost like 60 BMW videos, I was wondering if it was possible to add a video section to the website?
Admins what do you guys think of this or do you think it's too much space?

Yeah, I remember when I first heard of it, it seemed confusing too. It's actually quite simple and probably best illustrated with an example.
Lets say we have a 250 GB HD -- that's the space we have for all sites hosted on the server. It'll take quite a bit to fill it so space is not an issue. Bandwidth is used up based on how many times that video is downloaded. So, for the example:
Lets say you upload a 5 MB video. It's only going to take 5 MB of space once on the HD for it's entire life until deleted. However, in terms of bandwidth, lets say 100 people download it, it's going to use 5 * 100 = 500 MB of bandwidth. If you have a limited provider or a provider with a slow line, excessive bandwidth usage can possibly slow things down. It all depends on so many things. To put it into perspective, each forum page here is probably around 5 KB so if 100 people view the page it'll use 500 KB, only 0.5 MB of bandwidth, much less.
Hope that clears it up. I'm sometimes not very good at explaining things even though I know them so well.
